I'm Shravan, an MS4 at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. I know firsthand how overwhelming the MCAT and med school admissions process can feelbut I also know how to simplify it and make it work for you. I scored in the 99th percentile on the MCAT and received over 20 interviews and 11 offers during my admissions cycle. My success wasn't about grinding endless hoursit was about efficient studying, strategic planning, and targeted improvements. Too many students waste time on passive review, random resources, and ineffective test-taking strategies. My goal is to help you cut through the noise and focus on what actually moves the needle. What I Offer: MCAT Tutoringcontent review, test-taking strategies, and a study plan that fits your needs CARS CoachingI'll help you break down passages, recognize patterns, and approach questions with confidence Application Advisingfrom AMCAS strategy to personal statements, secondaries, and interview prep, I'll help you craft a standout application Personalized ApproachI've worked with students from all backgrounds, and I tailor my coaching to fit your strengths and challenges

I graduated from Northwestern University with a Bachelor's of Arts in Neuroscience and have a Post-baccalaureate Certificate in Biomedical Sciences and Health Equity. As a tutor I focus on problem solving and analytical skills. I am able to break down problems and difficult concepts in a way that every student can understand. I have numerous years of experience helping students excel in coursework, prepare for standardized tests, and compose comprehensive academic applications. I truly believe every student is capable of high levels of academic achievement and given the right framework students will propel themselves to new heights. I am proficient in many subjects but have a true passion for math, science and language arts.

I recently graduated from the University of Miami with a B.S. in Neuroscience and Microbiology & Immunology with a minor in Biological Physics. I am currently on the pre-medical track, and am in the process of applying to medical schools. As I just went through the process of studying for and taking the MCAT examination, I am passionate about helping students navigate this complicated and, what can be, an overwhelming step in their pre-medical journey. If you've made it this far in your pre-med education, you are definitely capable of succeeding on this exam, and I would love to help you do that! I am also always open to discussing the rest of the pre-medical journey, from the process of applying to medical schools to advice about certain prerequisite courses or extracurriculars - don't hesitate to ask!

I am currently a fourth year medical student at Thomas Jefferson medical school. I graduated from Brandeis University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and minors in Chemistry and Studio Art. While at Brandeis, I served as a teaching assistant for the introductory organic chemistry course and had the opportunity to closely work with professors to develop teaching plans to lead structured small group learning sessions. I was honored to receive the Emily Dudek Undergraduate Teaching Award for my commitment to my students and their success in the class. Since graduation, I have conducted research in Radiation Oncology at the Massachusetts General Hospital and am pursuing a medical degree. While I come from a science background, I have experience tutoring a broad range of subjects, including English, Math, and Standardized testing. I truly believe every student can succeed in any class with the right tools and a lot of hard work. I look forward to guiding my students in achieving their next academic milestone.

I am a passionate educator and incoming medical student with a Master's in Medical Science from Brown University and a BA in English from Occidental College. I bring over three years of educational experience, including teaching high schoolers, graduate students, and preparing students for the MCAT. My approach centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to express themselves and develop critical thinking skills. I believe that every student has unique strengths, and I strive to tailor my teaching methods to meet their individual needs. My goal is to ignite a love for learning and help students achieve their academic aspirations. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading and exploring creative writing, which continuously inspires my teaching practice.

As a recent graduate from Cornell University with a degree in biological sciences and someone who plans to attend medical school in the future, my passion and appreciation for the sciences and medicine is something I consider integral to my identity. My favorite subjects to tutor are biology and chemistry as those are the subjects in which I have past teaching experience in the classroom setting. In particular, my teaching style focuses on rephrasing and remodeling initially daunting concepts and information into bite-sized and digestible bits of information that any student can comprehend. I firmly believe that a lot of what slows students down in the learning process is their preconceived notions of course material. My passion for helping students stems from my experiences as an undergraduate where I can remember on countless occasions feeling lost in the material with little direction on how to approach the curriculum. I can think back to the many times I would have benefitted from having someone who could have guided me through stretches of daunting coursework which led me to become a tutor myself. As a teaching assistant, I discovered my passion for helping students manage their way through courses that many considered to be very difficult. Seeing how they reacted to my assistance reminded me why I applied for the position in the first place and motivates me to help students learn more every single day.

I graduated from Cornell University studying Biology and choosing to specialize in Neurobiology and Behavior. I have an extensive background in math and science. I was pre- med during my four years and I am currently working part time while finishing my final year of medical school. Right after graduating, I participated in City Year, an AMERICORPS education focused non-profit that partners with schools needing the most assistance. I led the 9th Grade academy where my job was to design tailored math and science curricula for 6-8 high risk academic students in 5 different classes. I provided attendance and behavior sessions for another group of students and I served as the Math Coordinator for my team. Since then, I have been working with Varsity tutors and offering academic assistance to other students in my school. Although medical school and tutoring occupy most of my time, I enjoy watching and playing basketball and soccer (futbol). I am a big fan of hip hop and the arts, as well. I have seen that the biggest challenge that prevents students from succeeding is a lack of self confidence. My mother is a part-time business owner, who couldn't operate a computer on her own until this year. When I was young, she simply decided that she was 'bad at technology' and it stuck. Eventually, my sister and I sat her down and gave her instructions on how to access the internet. The next day, we taught her how to use Microsoft word. We made sure that she focused on each skill alone and ignored everything else that seemed confusing. Two weeks later, she got the hang of it. I tutor by presenting the subject matter in a similar way while frequently setting attainable goals so that students will realize how easy it is for them to master subjects on their own. It is the same method I use to learn all of the challenging material I encounter every day. I look forward to meeting you and helping you build the confidence and skills necessary to succeed.

There's nothing quite like that moment when a student's face lights up with understanding. Whether it's finally grasping a challenging calculus concept, conquering chemistry equations, or crafting the perfect college essay, I've had the privilege of witnessing countless "aha!" moments throughout my tutoring journey. What drives me as an educator is understanding that learning isn't one-size-fits-all. Every student has unique strengths and learning styles. My role isn't just to teach content - it's to discover how each student learns best and build their confidence alongside their knowledge. Many students come to me feeling overwhelmed, but I help them see that math and science aren't mysterious - they're puzzles waiting to be solved. I provide comprehensive tutoring across all levels of high school mathematics - from foundational algebra through advanced calculus and statistics. In the sciences, I work with students in biology, chemistry, and physics, connecting classroom concepts to real-world applications that make learning engaging and memorable. For college preparation, I offer SAT and ACT test prep that focuses on both content mastery and strategic test-taking skills. I also provide essay editing and writing support throughout the college application process, helping students craft compelling narratives that authentically showcase their personality and aspirations. What sets my tutoring apart is my genuine investment in each student's success. I don't just help with homework - I help students develop critical thinking skills, study strategies, and the confidence to tackle new challenges independently. I maintain regular communication with parents and always hold high expectations because I know students are capable of meeting them. Ready to unlock your potential? Let's work together to achieve your academic goals - one concept, one problem, and one success at a time. When I'm not tutoring, you'll find me experimenting in the kitchen, creating my own recipes and perfecting everything from weeknight dinners to elaborate desserts. There's something incredibly satisfying about the precision of baking that mirrors the logical thinking I love about math and science. I'm also passionate about staying active - whether I'm out on a morning run, hitting the hiking trails, or sweating it out in group fitness classes at the gym. I'm actually looking forward to diving into CrossFit next, always up for a new challenge!

I am a graduate of Indiana University Bloomington (IUB), where I earned Bachelor of Science degrees in Biology, Psychology, and Neuroscience. Through my experience as a student, undergraduate teaching assistant (peer tutor/AI), and research mentor, I learned that effective and empowering learning is mostly about HOW you study as opposed to HOW MUCH you study. My best teachers always taught me to focus on solidifying the big picture (high yield) concepts first and add in smaller (low yield) details afterwards. This practice of breaking down complex ideas into fundamental first principles made me understand just how powerful knowledge could be and how it could be used to solve the world's hardest problems. This made even the smallest and most tedious of details easy to learn. I applied these same concepts to my students with tremendous success. In the process of learning and teaching, I fell in love with fostering "aha" moments while sharing my most passionate academic interests with others. Ultimately, that's why I'm here at Varsity Tutors! I want to give all of you the best of the teaching experiences that I was given, as well as include the things that I always wish that I had. While I tutor in almost every subject, I'm most passionate about Spanish and the sciences. Spanish gave me an entirely new culture to explore and people to connect to, while science helped me understand just how incredible our universe can be. Consequently, both are near and dear to my heart. Shortly after graduating college in 2019, I started the Medical Scientist Training Program at the Indiana University School of Medicine. I am fortunate to be simultaneously working towards my MD and towards a PhD in Neuroscience. I want to use my career to improve our understanding and management of psychiatric conditions as well as to train the next generation of great thinkers and innovators. Outside of academia, I like to compete in Olympic weightlifting, travel, do outdoorsy and adventurous things, listen and dance to hip hop, and spend time with the homies. I'm constantly discovering new passions, and firmly believe that personal growth is just as important as academic development.

I believe all students start at different levels and can achieve their goal with help. I am here to be that tutor/coach to help you get to the next stage. I am also available for students with learning disabilities including ADHD and/or those struggling with performance anxiety, etc.
